Talking With Teens About Sex (Without Making It Weird)

Many parents dread conversations about sex with their teenagers, but avoiding these discussions leaves teens vulnerable to misinformation from peers and pornography. In this episode, sexuality educator Amy Lang reveals how to approach sex talks as preparation rather than prevention—a crucial mindset shift that removes shame and builds trust.

The core message: Your teen needs factual information about healthy relationships, consent, pleasure, and safety. Rather than warning them away from sex, help them understand what healthy sexuality looks like so they make informed decisions.
